Sample text

Of the German word 'Befindlichkeit' itself, it may suffice to point out that the 'find' in the stem and the English find have the same root and meaning. Befindlichkeit is one's 'findedness'-how one finds oneself. This term is instructive in that it includes the idea of location or context. This is well suited to Heidegger's definition of human Being as Beingthere (Dasein) in bringing out the essentially contextualized Being of Dasein. Throughout this essay I will use the translation 'Situatedness' for Befindlichkeit for reasons which are probably apparent but which will be discussed as the issue is raised in another context.

Anxiety is a limit case here insofar as all things within the world are shown to be insignificant. Usually moods show things in the world in some more definite way of mattering. For instance, in fear, the 'fearsome' is able to be encountered. e. situatedness makes possible ways of mattering. Only by virtue of situatedness is the world opened to Dasein in this variety.
